ڕاستگۆیی دیاریەکی گرانبەھایە
ھەرگیز لە مرۆڤە ھەرزانەکانەوە
دەستناکەوێت..!
I don’t know the old Rebbe, proudly standing at the Concentration Camp’s main entrance, under the cynical “Arbeit macht frei” statement. But I know the feeling we share... neveragain!
The main entrance to Auschwitz II-Birkenau near Brzezinka.
Construction on Auschwitz II-Birkenau began in October 1941 to ease congestion at the main camp. Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, head of the Schutzstaffel (SS), intended the camp to house 50,000 prisoners of war, who would be interned as forced laborers. Plans called for the expansion of the camp first to house 150,000 and eventually as many as 200,000 inmates. An initial contingent of 10,000 Soviet prisoners of war arrived at Auschwitz I in October 1941, but by March 1942 only 945 were still alive, and these were transferred to Birkenau, where most of them died from disease or starvation by May. By this time Hitler had decided to annihilate the Jewish people, so Birkenau was repurposed as a combination labor camp / extermination camp.

תודה לך הנשיא נצ'ירוואן ברזאני על תמיכתך האמיצה בזכותו של העם היהודי להנציח את זכרון אלו אשר נפלו על יהדותם.
זוהי הזכות המשותפת לנו, בני העם הכורדי ובני העם היהודי, אשר היא צוואת אבותינו עליה אנו חייבים להילחם ללא חת.
Thank you President Nechirvan Barzani for your courageous support for the right of the Jewish people to commemorate those who fell for their Judaism
This is our common right, of the Kurdish people and of the Jewish people, which is the will of our ancestors that we must fights on fearlessly.
#WeRemembe
On Holocaust Memorial Day, we honor the 6,000,000 Jews murdered for being Jewish.
Misty conditions and a body conditioned for office work. The climb to this vantage point nearly killed me, at one point I had lay prone with feet above heart as the exertion was so great I was feeling rather ill and verging on blacking out... Tis my own fault though for carrying the weight of a 5 year old child on my back on a gradient of 18.75% or 1:533 over 1.6km trying to beat the sun rise, and giving myself 15mins to do it in.
It would be a failure to not remember Armin Theophil Wegner on such a day in Berlin.

RIGHTEOUS AMONG THE NATIONS—Here is America's only soldier to ever receive Israel’s highest honor conferred on non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. On this day 77 years ago, facing the threat of immediate execution, he and his men displayed an act of courage and character that exemplifies what it means to take a stand against evil.
US Army Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, 422nd Infantry Regiment, 106th Infantry Division, the “Golden Lions”, was captured by German forces at the onset of the Battle of the Bulge. A native of Knoxville, TN, Edmonds was 25 years old. He had only been on the front line for five days when his unit was overrun.
Edmonds' captors marched him east where he was transferred to Stalag IX-A, a camp for enlisted personnel just east of Bonn, Germany. As the senior noncommissioned officer at the camp, Edmonds found himself responsible for 1,275 American POWs.
On January 27, 1945, the Camp Commandant ordered Edmonds to assemble all the Jewish-American soldiers so they could be separated from the other prisoners.
Defiantly, Edmonds assembled all 1,275 American POWs.
Furious, the German commandant walked quickly up to Edmonds, placed a pistol against Edmonds' forehead, and demanded that he identify the Jewish soldiers within the ranks.
Edmonds, a keen and dedicated Baptist, responded sternly, "We are all Jews here."
Edmonds then warned the commandant that if he wanted to shoot the Jews, he'd have to shoot everyone, and that if he harmed any of Edmonds' men, the commandant would be prosecuted for war crimes when Germany lost. Edmonds then recited that the Geneva Conventions required POWs to give only their name, rank, and serial number, not their religion.
The commandant backed down.
Edmonds' actions are credited with saving 200 Jewish-American soldiers from being murdered. He survived 100 days of captivity, and returned home after the war, but kept the event at the POW camp to himself. He never told anyone. Edmonds later served in Korea.
It was only after Edmonds’ death in 1985 and the review of his diaries by his son that his story came to light. Jewish-American POWs, including Sonny Fox who after the war became an executive with NBC. He verified the story as did other POWs who were glad to share. The State of Israel declared Edmonds “Righteous Among the Nations” in 2015.
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. As we pause to remember the 6 million Jews and 11 million others murdered at the hand of their captors, we also commend all Allied Veterans who helped bring the tyranny of the Third Reich to an end. Master Sergeant Edmonds and the 1,275 American soldiers who stood defiantly with him on this day were a part of that story. We are the benefactors, and we pause to give our thanks. All The Way and more.

Today I have tried something I haven't done for years, Me shaved....I don't like it and these are the only pics you will see of me like that!
At 8:15am on 6th August 1945, the first atomic bomb in human history was dropped on Hiroshima. Although, the Atomic Bomb Dome was located almost directly underneath the explosion, it somehow avoided complete destruction and the remains of the building still stand today. The residents of Hiroshima decided to keep this tragic reminder of war intact. The site was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1996. Visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, the Cenotaph for Atomic Bomb Victims and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum to gain a deeper understanding of the suffering caused by war and nuclear weapons and the true value of peace.
